COMBINED SAW-JOINTER, SAW-SET, AND GAGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 370,661.,datedSeptember 27, 1887.

Application filed September 28, 1886. Renewed August 29, 1887. SerialNo. 248.164. (No model.)

.To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN HERMAN SoDEE, of Seattle, in the county ofKing,Washington Territory, have invented a new and Improved CombinedSaw-Jointer, Saw-Set, and Gage, of which the following is a full, clear,and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved combinedsaw-jointer, sawset, and gage specially adapted for crosscutsaws.

The invention consists of a frame provided with a saw-jointer, asaw-set, and a saw-gage.

The invention also consists of various parts and details andcombinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter, andthen pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a rear elevation of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a bottom viewof the same. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the same. Fig.

4 is a vertical cross-section of the same on the line as w of Fig. 1,and Fig. 5 is asimilar view of the same on the line y y of Fig. 3.

The frame A, of suitable size and form, is provided on one end with thesaw-set B,which consists of the stationary clamping arm or jaw O and thejaw D, sliding on the guide D of the frame, having a lug, D, againstwhich operates the cam E, pivoted at E to the guide D", and having aradial slot, E through which passes the bolt F, projecting from the jawD, and on which bolt F screws the nut F, by which the cam is clamped inposition against the jaw D. The swinging motion of the cam E is limitedbetween the lugs E on the cam E.

The tooth to be set is placed between the jaws G and D, and the latteris then moved toward the former by swinging the cam E in the directionof the arrow a, so that the jaw D is tightly pressed against the tooth,and is held in this position by screwing the wing-nut down upon thecam,which locks the parts in position. The tooth is then set in theusual manner.

On one edge of the frame A is placed the gage G, having a slot throughwhich passes a stud, H, projecting from the frame A, and a bolt, I,secured to the latter, also passes through the said slot, and isprovided with the not I, by which the gage G can be adjusted to anydesired depth. The gage G slides forward and backward on the stud H andon the bolt I. A notch, A, is formed on the corner of the frameA,directly below the front end of the gage G.

To use the gage G, it is adjusted so that its forward end projects thedesired distance beyond the end of the frame A, and the end of the frameis placed flat against the saw, the end of the gage resting against aproperly-set tooth of the saw. If the end of the gage does not touch thesucceeding teeth, they must be set inward toward thesaw, and if theteeth touch the gage, so that the end of the frame cannot rest flatagainst the saw, they must be set farther outward.

In the middle of the frame A is placed the saw-jointer J, consistingprincipallyof the ad justable plate K, having its bearing in a recess, Aof the frame A,and provided with aslot,K, through which passes a bolt,L, attached to the frame A, and provided with a wing-nut, L, by whichthe plate can be held in place when adj usted. From the plate K projectsthe angular plate K having the slot K and extended on one end to formthe arm K, provided with the lug K in which screws the set-screw M.

The frame A is provided with the slot A in which moves the plate K andwith grooves A A, which extend from the said slot A to the ends of theframe A. The upper edge of the frame is formed into projecting plates Awhich correspond in width to the plate K and extend from the slot to theends of the frame.

The file with which the saw is j ointed is placed with one edge in therecess of the frame A, and is-held in place by screwing the set-screwdown upon the other edge of the file. The plate K is adjusted by thebolt L and the nut L to suit the thickness of the file. The saw-jointeris then applied on the saw in the usual manner.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- 1. The combinatiomwith the frame A,of thesaw-jointer J, the saw-set B, and the saw-gage G, substantially as shownand described.

2. The frame A, having the guide-arm D and the stationary jaw O, incombination with the sliding jaw D, having the lug D, and the cam E, foroperating the said jaw D, substantially as shown and described.

3. The frame A, having the guide-arm D and the stationary jaw C, incombination with the sliding jaw D, having the stud D, the cam E,operating on the said jaw D, and means to hold the jaw D and the cam Ein place, substantially as shown and described.

4. The frame A, having the guidearni D and the stationary jaw O, incombination with the sliding jaw D, having the lug D, the pivoted cam E,having the radial slot E and operating on the said jaw D, the bolt F,attached to the jaw D, and the nut F, screwing on the said bolt F,substantially as shown and de scribed.

5. The frame A, having the notch A,in combination with the gage-plate G,having a slot, the lug H, passing through the slot in gage G, the bolt1, also passing through the said slot, and the nut I, screwing on thesaid bolt Iand holding the gage G in place, substantially as shown anddescribed.

6. The frame A, having the grooves A and the plate A, in combinationwith the adj ustable plate K, the angular arms K and K, the latterhaving the downward-projeeting lug K and the set-screw M, extendingtransversely through the lug toward the frame A, substantially as shownand described.

7. The frame A, having the slot A, the grooves A, and the plate'A incombination with the plate K, slotted at K, and having the angular armsK and K", the set-screw M, screwing in' the lug K of the arm K, the boltL, passing through the said slot K, and the nut L, for clamping theplate K onto the frame A, substantially as shown and described.
